Choosing a leather corset

Overbust corsets cover the bust and can be worn alone as a top; underbust corsets sit below it and layer over a shirt, dress or bodysuit. Steel-boned corsets shape the waist and hold a rigid line; soft-structured corsets follow the body and are more comfortable for a long evening. Lace-up backs give you a few inches of adjustment; busk fronts let you get in and out without help.

Leather choice changes the feel. Cowhide corsets are firm and hold their shape; sheepskin corsets are softer and mould to you with wear. Both are lined so the leather never sits directly on skin.

Sizing

Corsets are the least forgiving garment we make, so measure before you order: bust at the fullest point, underbust directly beneath, and natural waist at the narrowest point. Pick the standard size that matches your waist, or send all three numbers through the custom order page for a made-to-measure cut. Lace-up styles can be worn one to two inches smaller than your waist for shaping.

Frequently asked questions

Overbust or underbust?

An overbust corset covers the bust and works as a top on its own; an underbust sits below the bust and layers over a shirt, dress or bodysuit. Both are listed in this collection with the boning type shown on each product page.

How do I measure for a leather corset?

Measure your bust at the fullest point, your underbust directly beneath it, and your natural waist at the narrowest point. Choose the standard size that matches your waist, or send all three measurements for a made-to-measure cut. Lace-up styles can be worn one to two inches smaller than your waist.

Is the leather lined?

Yes. Corsets in this collection are lined so the leather does not sit directly on the skin.

Can I order it in my own measurements?

Yes. Send your measurements through the custom order page; made-to-measure is available at no extra charge and you can also request a different color or leather type.

How long does it take to make and deliver?

Every piece is made after the order is placed. Production normally takes 14–15 working days, then it ships with a tracking number to the USA and worldwide.

What is the return policy?

Standard-size items can be returned within 15 days of delivery in unworn condition. Made-to-measure pieces are exchanged if they arrive damaged or incorrect. Full details are in our return policy.

How do I care for it?

Loosen the lacing fully before taking it off, air it after wear, store it flat or rolled loosely, and condition the leather a few times a year. Avoid machine washing.
